| - | {{Template}}Strong influences on the '''[[music]] of [[Brazil]]''' come from many parts of the world, but there are very popular regional [[music]] styles influenced by [[Africa]]n and [[Europe]]an forms. After 500 years of history the Brazilian music developed some unique and original styles like [[choro]], [[música sertaneja|sertanejo]], [[brega]], [[forró]], [[frevo]], [[samba]], [[Bossa nova]], [[MPB]], [[Brazilian rock]], [[axé]] and others. Samba is no doubt the best known form of Brazilian music worldwide, though Bossa nova and other genres have also received much attention abroad. Brazil also has a growing community of modern/experimental composition, including [[electroacoustic music]]. All genres of Brazilian music formed a solid tradition. | + | {| class="toccolours" style="float: left; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 2em; font-size: 85%; background:#c6dbf7; color:black; width:30em; max-width: 40%;" cellspacing="5" |

Funk Carioca and rap
Funk Carioca, favela funk and, elsewhere in the world, baile funk, is a type of dance music from Rio de Janeiro, derived from Miami bass. In Rio de Janeiro it is most often simply known as funk, although it is very different musically from what funk means in most other places. "Baile funk", in Rio, refers not to the music, but to the actual parties in which the music is played. MIA released the funk carioca-inspired co-composition "Bucky Done Gun" in July 2005.
